When looking at the fighting résumé of UFC light heavyweight newcomer
Alexandre “Cacareco” Ferreira, it’s hard not to
notice the four-year layoff the Brazilian endured earlier this decade.
A self-imposed exile, Ferreira said he simply wasn’t able to find a
suitable place to fight in the years that preceded mixed martial arts’
current explosion in popularity.
Unfortunately for the Chute Boxe-trained submission master, it’s a position he’s known all too well.
